Hikmicro Lynx LQ35 3.0 Thermal Imaging Monocular

The Hikmicro Lynx LQ35 3.0 is a compact thermal imaging monocular that detects heat differences up to 1800 metres distance. This monocular offers observation in complete darkness thanks to the advanced VOx sensor with a resolution of 640x512 pixels.

What we think of this thermal imaging monocular

The Shogun team is impressed by the razor-sharp AMOLED display and the extremely low NETD value of <15 mK. This means that even the smallest temperature differences become visible - ideal for spotting game or detecting heat loss. At just 354.5 grammes, this monocular is surprisingly light for its performance.

Technology and optical performance

The 35 mm f/1.0 lens captures maximum thermal radiation, whilst the 12 μm pixel pitch ensures detailed images. The 0.49 inch AMOLED display with 1920x1080 resolution provides a crystal-clear image. Magnification ranges from 1.9x to 15.2x, with a standard 8x zoom that you can adjust quickly.

Particularly noteworthy is the HIKMICRO Shutterless Imaging System (HSIS) technology - no more disruptive calibrations during use. The AI-powered Image Pro 3.0 and Zoom Pro algorithms optimise the image automatically. With a 50Hz frame rate, you see smooth movements without delay.

Mounting and compatibility

This thermal imaging monocular has an other mounting option, which means you will likely need a specific adapter for mounting on a rail. The compact format of 169.6 x 53.6 x 49.5 mm makes handheld use very comfortable. You adjust the focus with the focus ring, from a minimum distance of 3.5 metres.

The replaceable 18650 Li-ion battery provides up to 4.5 hours of continuous operation at -20°C. Via the USB Type-C port, you can charge directly or use external power during extended observations.

Who is this thermal imaging monocular intended for?

Perfect for nature enthusiasts who want to observe at night without disturbance, security professionals monitoring perimeters, or technicians detecting heat loss. The field of view of 12.5° x 7.5° provides an overview of 21.9 x 13.2 metres at 100 metres - ideal for scanning large areas. The IP67 certification means this monocular is resistant to rain and dust.
